The following post is from our advertiser, This American Life on Showtime.

In Los Angeles, LAist most definitely celebrated Thanksgiving like no other. After all, one has to keep up all the energy to keep on walking the line at the Writers Strike and fighting the unfortunate return of the wildfires in Malibu, which single handedly destroyed over fifty homes within the first 24 hours. National outlets may be covering the fires, but CNN also found it is easier to buy a gun than fruit and...

This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia. They also got a chance to review an awesome tribute album, reminded folks to see the King and appreciated their beautiful skyline. Chicagoist knows what it's like to like the Cubs. But naming your kid Wrigley Fields? At least they can breathe a little easier now that Grossman's out and...

Showtime is promoting the new season of its show Dexter, which is about a serial killer (Michael C. Hall), by dyeing water in city fountains blood-red. In some cities, residents couldn't miss the promotion. Philadelphia's Love Park Fountain bubbled up good and bloody if you're into that sort of thing.

The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth.

Veronica Mars is the best quippy cute high schooler on television since Buffy Summers. No joke. Veronica Mars swings like vintage early Buffy, but instead of demon fighting we have a teenage private eye trying to solve the mystery of her best friend's murder. The show is noirish and funny and a thoroughly satisfying watch. You may have missed it thanks to the fact that it's on Tuesdays at 9 PM on UPN. Give...
